Re:Mozilla to deliver ads in its Firefox browser on Tuesday February 11, 2014 @06:54PM (#7221506)
You are right :)

Firefox will NOT include ads - Stop the misinformation!!

currently the default new tab page on a NEW installation is mostly empty: http://i.imgur.com/z71I89i.jpg

What will happen is that it will be pre-filled with sites that are popular in your locale, organizations that Mozilla likes, and sponsored sites: http://cl.ly/image/3I172o2f202k

The pre-filled sites disappear and are replaced by your own top sites as you start using the browser.

Re:IE10 to send "Do Not Track" DNT header by default on Friday June 01, 2012 @02:34PM (#4054897)
From: http://daringfireball.net/linked/2012/06/01/opt-in-opt-out

"If “Do Not Track” defaults to on, most users will have it on; if it defaults to off, most users will have it off. Defaulting to off is no more a representation of “the user’s voice” than defaulting to on is."
